A 27-year-old Toronto man has been arrested in the investigation into missing Ancaster man, Tim Bosma.

Dellen Millard was taken into custody without incident while driving on Cawthra Rd. in Mississauga, Hamilton Police said Saturday.

“It is believed that Dellen Millard is also the driver in the truck incident that took place in Toronto previously,” Supt. Dan Kinsella said.

He is charged with forcible confinement and theft over $5,000. Millard has been identified as the suspect with the ‘Ambition’ tattoo.

But Bosma, 32, is still missing. He was last seen last Monday night, when he left his home to meet with two men who responded to his online ad, posted to sell his black 2007 Dodge Ram pickup truck, license plate 726 7ZW.

Police remained tight-lipped on details Saturday.

“Information is being obtained, search warrants being prepared, and evidence gathered,” Kinsella said.

And the search was at a “critical” stage, he said.

“Tim Bosma has not been located and our greatest priority is the welfare and locating of Tim Bosma,” he said. “Anyone who knows where Tim is, please help us to return Tim.”

An employee at the Region of Waterloo Airport — who would not provide his name — confirmed Hamilton Police visited a private hangar at the airport Saturday morning.

He also said that an airline named Millardair — whose CEO is listed as Dellen Millard — has a hangar at the airport.

Police have not located the truck or the second suspect, who was described as a white man in his early-to-mid 20s, 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10, with a small to medium build. He has dark hair and was wearing a red hooded top with the hood over his head. He has not been identified yet.

When asked if he believes Bosma is still alive, Kinsella said there’s “always hope.”

“We hold out hope through the course of our investigation and we continue our search efforts in this missing person investigation,” he said.

Dozens of vehicles dotted the front driveway and lawn of Bosma’s rural Ancaster home, with ‘Find Tim Bosma’ fliers pasted in the windshields.

Friend Rebecca Bootsma, 32, said family and friends are glad an arrest was made and they are hopeful Tim is alive.

“We’re not going to stop until we see him,” she said.

Investigators have received over 300 tips. Anyone with information on Tim Bosma’s whereabouts should call 905-546-2100.
